The image appeared in a June 1, 2026, post on X account @daytwinking (archived here). It opened:
Happy PRIDE MONTH to the "Governor" of Florida, Ron DeFAGGOT!

The screenshot imitates the appearance and style of a Truth Social post by @realDonaldTrump. The "post" contains a derogatory and homophobic slur aimed at Florida Governor DeSantis. A search of keywords on Truth Social found no such post by Trump (archived here), as this screenshot shows:

The website Trump's Truth, an archive of his posts on Truth Social, did not have a record of any such post (archived here).
Such an announcement would have attracted wide coverage, given Trump's prominence and ongoing news media focus on Pride Month. Lead Stories searched Google News (archived here) and Yahoo! News (archived here) and found the same post was published in 2023 and debunked as fake by other fact-checking agencies.
